On the afternoon of January 7, the Chinese men's football team announced the new 2022 big list, and as many as 52 players were selected. On January 27 and February 1, the national football team will play against Japan and Vietnam in the round of 12. The national football roster formulated by Li Xiaopeng may eventually be reduced to about 25 people, which means that more than half of the players are only "sparring" roles.
Let's take a look at the big list of national football:
Shandong Taishan, the champion of the Chinese Super League, was selected 10 people, Guo Tianyu, Xu Xin and other eye-catching newcomers were listed; the runner-up of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Harbor, was 6; and the Guangzhou team had 9 people, including Yan Dinghao and Wu Shaocong, who performed well. Veterans such as Arthur Junmin, Wu Xi, and Yu Dabao are also listed. In the selection of materials, the national football coach Li Xiaopeng can be described as all-encompassing, and the new veterans have a chance.
Through the 52-man list of the national football team, we can still see the difference between Li Xiaopeng and his predecessor Li Tie - especially in the selection of "concubine players".
Li Xing
When Li Tie was in charge of the national football team, the four major concubines of the Wuhan (Zhuoer) team were regular guests of the national football team: Dong Chunyu, Li Xing, Liu Yun, and Tomorrow. However, Li Xiaopeng's national football team does not have the position of these 4 people, and even if Li Xiaopeng is not qualified for sparring, even if Li Xiaopeng is also the former coach of the Wuhan team.
Of course, Li Tie's "4 major concubines" are different:
Tomorrow
Left-back tomorrow in June last year, for the national football team when seriously injured, has not yet returned; goalkeeper Dong Chunyu is lost the main position, has been sitting on the bench; Li Xing's situation is basically similar, in the midfield competition but Arthur Junmin; Liu Yun is the main force of the Wuhan team, but the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League 20 games 1 goal performance, can not meet the standard of the international football team.
Make a hypothesis: if the national football coach is still Li Tie, will Dong Chunyu, Li Xing and Liu Yun have the opportunity to be selected for the 52-man list of the national football team and participate in the training as a sparring partner? In the Wuhan team, there is also 1 "Li Tie Ai General": high school striker Dong Xuesheng. However, Dong Xuesheng's mediocre performance of only scoring 2 goals in the Chinese Super League in the past 2 years really does not meet the national brand standard.
In contrast, Li Xiaopeng's big list is not too controversial. There are 3 people in the Wuhan team, namely Arthur Junmin, Zhao Hongluo and Wang Zhifeng.
Arthur Junmin
Arthur Junmin's ability does not need to be discussed; Wang Zhifeng, who is 1 meter 95, is the main goalkeeper, conceding 24 goals in 18 appearances in the Chinese Super League this year, although he conceded an average of 1.3 goals per game, but averaged 3 saves per game, with a success rate of 69%, even stronger than Wang Dalei (68% success rate of saves); wing-back Zhao Hongluo scored 4 goals in the Chinese Super League, with a pass success rate of 84%, and the selection of the national football team relies on performance.
